The Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike has said that he will fast and pray for God to keep Lt. General T Y Danjuma alive.

Wike said this on Monday during the swearing-in ceremony of judges in Port Harcourt.

Reacting to comment by Danjuma about the killing of innocent Nigerians by Fulani herdsmen across the country, Wike said the former Defence chief has said the truth.

He said, “I don’t fast, but I will fast and pray to God to keep General Danjuma. General Theophilus Danjuma has said the truth. It is happening daily in Rivers state,” he said

“We only replicated what is in existence in Lagos state, but nobody queries that of Lagos state. Only recently, Nasarawa state launched her outfit, without being challenged.

“The recent deliberate crisis and threat of violence by the APC on the setting up of the neighbourhood safety corps underscores the devilish schemes to promote insecurity in Rivers state.”
